Question

Noreen made 8 2/3 cups of snack mix for a party. Her guests ate 3/4 of the mix. How much snack mix did her guests eat?

Answer 1

`6(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

Noreen made 8 2/3 cups of snack mix, to make this a bit easier for us.

Lets turn 8 2/3 into a decimal.

`8(2)/(3)` equals to 8.667

After this, we look at how much her guests ate, which was
`(3)/(4)`.

We then look for how much is
`(3)/(4)` out of 8.667.

This would be 6.50.

Lastly, we need to convert 6.50 back into a fraction,

6.50 =
`6(1)/(2)`
